Challenge #3: Running Averages

Struggled with this one and didn't get all my output columns to match the model answer 😞

My solution. Not the smart one.

I totally cheated- but learned a bunch. These challenges are great for learning!

I did it brute force (attached) and then took a look at the solution... Love doing these and learning of new ways.

My solution - quite similar to most others with multiple Transpose tools rather than multiple Cross Tabs

Changed some column names to make fields (for me) more understandable.

Good challenge!  I ran into an issue that many others mentioned, the 6 month running averages in the solution don't always match mine unless I group by Name only (not HP category) in my multi row formula.  I can't think of a good reason why that would be omitted so I assume it's an error...

Brute force solution:D

 

In the output, only 3 months average is grouped by HP Category, but here both 3 and 6 months averages are grouped (to align with the task).

 

 

@GeneR 

In both output and solution 6 months average is not grouped by HP Category, should it be grouped?

EDIT: in the final row, please read comment as "6 months average" instead:)
